Al-Alimi, during his meeting with ambassadors of the permanent member states of the Security Council and the countries sponsoring the political process in Yemen on Monday, affirmed that “these measures endanger the successful Saudi efforts in calming the situation in Hadramout and the agreement sponsored by the Kingdom to continue oil exports.” He pointed out that any new disruption to the oil facilities will immediately lead to a halt in employee salaries, the collapse of electricity services, a worsening humanitarian crisis, the undermining of economic reforms, and a loss of donor confidence, according to Yemeni news – Saba.
He called on the international community for a unified and firm stance rejecting unilateral measures, demanding the withdrawal of incoming forces from outside the two eastern provinces, and supporting the legitimate government as the sole executive authority to protect the country’s higher interests. Al-Alimi stressed that “the real battle remains with the Iran-backed Houthi terrorist militias, not between the Yemenis themselves,” warning that “the fall of the state’s logic in Yemen will not leave stability in the south or north.”
For their part, the ambassadors reiterated their full commitment to supporting the Presidential Leadership Council, the legitimate government, and Yemen’s unity and sovereignty, emphasizing the necessity of maintaining international unity to prevent the undermining of state institutions.
Earlier, the spokesman for the Southern Transitional Council in Yemen, Anwar Al-Tamimi, announced, following recent events in the governorate. Al-Tamimi stated to Sputnik that “oil companies will resume production starting Saturday, and Seiyun International Airport stopped for only one day and then resumed its activities with all its local and international flights. Electricity also returned to several areas, as gangs disrupted the delivery of fuel to power generation stations, some of which operate on mazut and diesel. Once the outlaws were removed, the situation returned to normal.”
The local authority in Yemen’s Hadramout governorate and the “Tribal Alliance” announced last Wednesday to reduce escalation and security tension in the oil-rich governorate. It is noted that the coastal areas of Hadramout in southeastern Yemen are experiencing political tension between what is known as the “Armed Tribes of Hadramout Alliance,” which calls for autonomy for the governorate, amid growing concerns about the worsening situation in one of the most important oil provinces overlooking the Arabian Sea and bordering Saudi Arabia.
